“Everybody better get the hell out of your way.”
That’s what Fashion Star mentor and designer extraordinaire John Varvatos had to say about Edmonton’s Cassandra Hobbins during last Friday’s episode.
It was a well-deserved one-liner, seeing as Hobbins sold her day-to-night dress — one in black and white, the other in a pink and black leopard print — to Macy’s after an intense bidding war with Express. Macy’s ended up purchasing the piece for $175,000.
In addition to Varvatos’ championing words, Macy’s buyer Caprice Willard gave Hobbins some serious encouragement.
“You nailed it!” Willard said with a smile.
But wait. That wasn’t all.
“It was one of the best dresses I’ve seen in this competition,” Jessica Simpson added.
“It was!” piped in Nicole Ritchie.
Holy moly. Needless to say, Hobbins started tearing up at all the compliments. I may have been crying, too.
